Help!
I pulled my ls1 out of the vette late last night and was trying to identify what clutch is in the driveline. I was told it was upgraded with a lightweight flywheel.
When I got the motor out the first thing I did was look at the clutch, only thing is there is NO MARKINGS on the pressure plate. It is how ever a solid red color. There looks to be a billet flywheel, not sure if it is "lightweight" as i was told when purchasing. No other identifying characteristics. I didn't take any pics because it was 8:00 last night when I got it out on the ground in my driveway. Does anyone know what this might be? It doesn't look new by any means and the pedal is fairly stiff as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Anyway,
Just inspect it during your R/R and you might have some better idea as your next step... Did the clutch work well for you?

It worked very well. No complaints from me. When it went the 4.10s were pushing 425ftlbs and it never slipped. But I did eat through the 11in 555r's in 7 months. I launched the car a few times and it was great. I was very happy with it.
But with plans for a 750hp turbo build in the coming months, I went ahead and ordered a stg4 monster clutch setup with billet lightweight flywheel and new slave.
And thanks for the reply about the clutch. Any reason as to why it's that one? Only reason I ask is because aren't mcleods red? Maybe centerforce? After I actually get it off, is there a specific spot to look for identifying marks?
